There are a few memories of these efforts that really stand out, in November 2019, a group of us went to Nepal to help the local NGO's to refurbish a women's refuge just outside of Kathmandu in Nepal. The local charity provided an oasis for women that had been trafficked into India. Our team helped to renovate, paint and clean the refuge to provide a more welcoming environment.
Another memorable experience was volunteering with the Giant Panda's at the Bifengxia Giant Panda Base outside of Chengdu in China.
This bucket list experience provides funds for Panda research and local economic development. It was an unforgettable experience in rural China working with these beautiful animals.
The idea was born to combine a love of travel with animal conservation and sustainable tourism to build a values-based company. We have taken inspiration from Salesforce and Patagonia that prove that companies can provide a positive impact in the world.

Then the Pandemic
Then in early 2020 the pandemic hit and at first it seemed like a crazy time to start a travel company, however this strengthened our conviction to create a purpose-led business that will be able to help developing communities who have been so affected by the crisis.
The website and business is being developed for a launch late 2021 while we are lucky enough to be traveling around Australia avoiding the pandemic whilst visiting some of the remotest parts of the continent.
